[F Prime]

Now that most of us have already seen the Transformers: Prime Rumble action figure in the picture posted hours ago recently, I wonder if we will ever see him in the cartoon in the near future, or not. Furthermore, the blue hatchback racer vehicle mode that the Prime Rumble currently has is quite stunning, and I actually like it in a way. However, should he does appear in the Prime cartoon series for real, then this will be the very first time that he will have a vehicle altmode in the Transformers cartoon universe. Well, what do you guy think?

This wouldn't be the first time a Rumble has had a Vehicle altmode in a TF cartoon. Galaxy Force Rumble turned into a spider-like tank.

I am not an expert on Cybertron/Galaxy Force, but was this Ramble, the Japanese name for Scrapmetal? (Ramble was also the G1 Japanese name for Rumble, right?). I know they have the same name, but maybe psj333 wants a Rumble who isn't a drone?

So, anyone else notice the epic variation on the TF Prime score during the action scene? Epic guitar rift is Epic.

Oh yes, my ears were in a happy place at that moment. Hopefully they will use it more.

About Rumble, I really hope he shows up, preferably with Frenzy too. The vehicle mode is just adorable and the robot mode looks awesome! Too bad the head is kind of blurry, can't really see if he has visor or not. It would be fun to see how small he would be in the show compared to other bots. Would he follow the Minicon tradition (being about the same size as the humans) or would he be significantly bigger?

Theory-
Starscream takes M.E.C.H out to the area were Skyquake is, opens up the dimension he's in somehow. They then proceed to bring him down. Removal of dark energon plus M.E.C.H's Cybertronian drone plus salvaged Skyquake parts plus Starscream's know how and "ambition" equals a new Decepticon, totally obedient to Starscream, who now has his own second in command seeker, Dreadwing? The episode could end with him awakening, and saying his 'Autobots will pay" one liner. Of course then theres the transformation cog. wait, Skyquake parts!

A stretch, but a fun theory none the less!

I am not sure about this, but I think this has been ruled out due to some comments from the production team. Anyone else here know the specifics on this?

I considered this myself, but there are some holes in this idea. Namely that Starscream doesn't know about the Shadowzone or Terrorcon Skyquake being in there.

Well, you think he might've considered it after being ran over by his arm

[Shadowman]

Well, let's talk about this:

-Ratchet wants to donate his transformation cog to Bumblebee. Optimus doesn't like it but Ratchet convinces him anyway.

-When Fowler calls, Ratchet mentions Fuzors, and mentions someone else, though I didn't catch a name.

-Did anyone else see Knockout's new shield and think of Brutes from WfC?

-Optimus name-drops Solus Prime, while Breakdown is digging out her hammer. When Megatron tries to use it, Knockout name-drops Fortress Maximus, and the Nucleon Shock Cannon from WfC. A lot of references in this episode.

-'Bee gets his t-cog back, but not his voice. Starscream, meanwhile, loses his to MECH.

-Dreadwing doesn't appear at all. Remind me again why anyone thought he would? I never believed he would.

Episode 31 -

Even though this is supposed to be centered on Bumblebee, Ratchet is stealing the shining role in this. I mean, his characterization is brilliant in this!

*Upon bringing Megatron the newly retrieved artifact*
Megatron: "Ah, excellent work, Knock Out."
Knock Out: "I live to serve, Lord Megatron. But, what exactly is it?"
Megatron: "..."
*Megatron shoots at Knock Out ,and an energy shield forms to protect him*
Megatron: "Now you know." (And knowing is half the battle! G. I. Jooooooe! )
Knock Out: "I... think I leaked a little transmission fluid."

Having left Megatron, Starscream now tries to sweet talk Silas, who, like Megatron, is not amused. Guess old habits die hard, eh Screamer?

Ratchet (talking in his sleep/stasis): "What?! Do I hear a Fuzor in need of voice-box repair?!" - note that he mispronouced fuzor as "Foo-zor" instead of "Fyoo-zor", but Fowler got it right.

Ratchet: (still groggy): "I am able! Just ask Bantor! He was all mandrill before I put a tiger in his tank!" - Two Beast Wars gags! I love it! Even though it make no sense since Bantor wasn't in the Beast Wars cartoon.

THE FORGE OF SOLUS PRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Could it be... the MAGNUS HAMMER?!!! But wait... her forge.... wasn't it a place, not an item? I'm pretty sure her forge was a place. It was located in an asteroid. So, this makes no sense.

MECH's schematics for their robot look like a crude wireframe image of Optimus, with many armor pieces missing. I guess they're basing it off his design since they got a good look at him back in episode 9.

Why doesn't Silas just grab the T-Cog and take it with him instead of leaving it to Starscream to carry away having to trust him to both show up at the rendezvous point and show up with it?

Don't mess with Silas.

That was very dumb of Breakdown to leave the hammer unguarded like that, allowing Bulkhead to go pick it up.

Poor Starscream. The guy just can't catch a break. Or make friends (or at least allies) with anybody.

"Fortress-Maximus Grade Nucleon Shock Cannon"? What, is Fort Max not a character in this show?

This was actually a pretty great episode. Probably the best of season 2 so far. I want to see more episodes of this good effort.

Next week... WHEELJACK AND DREADWING!!!!

Or she just worked out of an asteroid, and the Forge was the hammer. Like, "The Galaxy" in Men in Black was a tiny Sub-atomic generator.

But then I haven't real Exiles or Exodus yet, so you are probably right.
